Swansea City form and stats

12 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Swansea City have to build on here at Liberty Stadium. Swansea City has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Liberty Stadium. We remember; it was Manchester City.

Happy days for Swansea City in their previous game, a Championship match away at Ipswich Town that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Swansea City had a home game versus Rotherham United which ended with a victory 4-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Swansea City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Swansea City, as the Championship home game vs Derby County is only four days away.

Hull City form and stats

Hull City have only collected 22 points from their away games after 6-4-12 (22 played). It's a growing despair in Hull City as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Hull City seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Sheffield United with 0-3 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against West Bromwich Albion wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Hull City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 12 defeats. From a total of 17 matches.

Hull City find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 27 goals from 22 away fixtures. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Hull City have conceded 42 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
